After catching the game-winning touchdown on Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin hurt his groin when teammate Nnamdi Asomugha jumped on him to celebrate the team's first win since September.

Like most Asomugha hits, this one came long after the wide receiver caught the ball.

Asomugha awkwardly jumped on Maclin's shoulders after the score. It caused Maclin's groin to get "a little sore," but it won't keep him out of Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

If only Maclin had lived up to his reputation for avoiding contact, this whole injury mess would have been avoided.

Last month, he dismissed such a claim from Fox analyst Troy Aikman, who said Maclin dropped a slant pass because he didn't want to get hit by the safety.

I'm not saying Jeremy Maclin is soft, but I've heard the Charmin baby calls him for pointers. (Not that there's anything wrong with that. I cringe when I watch receivers go over the middle. No stones being thrown from my glass house.)
